Just a quick post to tell everybody that I am going to pick up my first "official" fresh fruit donation tomorrow!
This lovely couple read about the Giving Gardeners in my Palos Verdes News column and that I would come and pick up their excess fruit and called me this morning! I am going to pick up about 10 pounds of their plums and deliver it to a great program here in the South Bay, Circle of Life AIDS food pantry.
A wonderful woman named Alma who coordinates it, is going to give out the fruit on Thursday as part of her holistic therapy with some clients and fresh fruit is something she usually has to buy on her own.
I am so happy that I can help in this small way and hope it leads to bigger and better things!

Hi farm girl!
Are you part of the freecycle networks in the South Bay? I've noticed a few people lately offering a lot of extra stuff from their trees. Might be good for your charity purposes. Here's some info about it: daily link about freecycle
oops. don't know why that link didn't work. here:
